  In only slightly more isolated regions of the internet than here, it used to be, when this story was new, that whenever this story was brought up, with dozens or more credulous comments with varying attempts at humor, there was at least one person who commented that it was fake, often with citations. As time went on, for each new instance, the number of comments dwindled, and the lone debunking comment appeared more and more rarely. Now I never see it, even though the story still occasionally appears, with a handful of credulous comments. So I would assume that yes, many people believe it.

  I earnestly did not know that it wasn't "true" or was an exaggeration or anything. Glad to learn, but, that's zero percent of the reason anyone shouldn't like the guy, zero percent of the reason he's a bad person, etc. Who cares if someone fucks couches? Apparently that kind of stuff doesn't end your political career anymore anyway. It's not like he shot a puppy!
